i wonder why they set such hard questions for blocks... is it cause they want to demoralise everyone? if it is we might decided to fly to Batam or something 1 day before A levels and catch H1N1.

econs is a subject of realisation. the fact that i realised this 50 minutes into my econs paper proves this point. and i realised my commitment to blogging, cause i thought up this post in the middle of econs, literally placing down my pen to think about what to right. thank me.
anyway, i realised the proper way to use a disclaimer, or what i'd like to call "Covering your @$$". in my econs paper, i realised in the middle of the block test that there was a statement below. It stated "Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible. Every reasonable effort has been made to the publisher to trace copyright holders, but if any items requiring clearance have unwittingly been included, the publisher will be pleased to make amends at the earliest possible opportunity".
What it really means (bolded and italicised) is:
"Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible (there were too damn many copyright laws man). Every reasonable effort has been made to the publisher to trace copyright holders (we couldn't find the copyright holders and probably weren't able to in the first place. maybe even can't be bothered to), but if any items requiring clearance have unwittingly been included (this refers to everything), the publisher will be pleased to make amends at the earliest possible opportunity (damn i wish i won't get caught. then again it's just a block test....)"
i mean, can you actually imagine any school calling the BBC and asking "uh. hey BBC, i'm a teacher from Singapore. I need the publisher for (Extract A) so i can ask him, uh, her, uh it if i can copy, i mean use his, uh her, uh its article for the exam".
i can't.
and i also realised a few gems in the middle of my case study question.
1) the singapore government makes damn good policies. in fact it's so good that even i have to admit it's good
2) you also realise that many policies you propose which you think is right... it's wrong
3) you get skeptical about your eureka-lightbulb moments, cause after repeatedly getting it wrong, you realise that those "lightbulb" moments, might just be God telling you not to write what you think is so totally correct
4) you then realise that when you follow what you think is God telling you not to write what you think is so totally correct, it turns out to be a damn lightbulb moment
5) you realise that you are not made out to be a politician after all. cause you might propose supply side policies to solve cyclical unemployment and get fired/overthrown/deposed/assasinated within a week.
so if you didn't think econs was fun... well... it's still not fun, but sucks to be those who take it!

- Team Played GF GA GD Pts
1 GP
2 Math
3 SEA
4 IH
5 Chem
6 Econs
7 Bryan
i decided to come up with a table (see above) to see how badly i get pwned in this block test. will give constant updates. as seen above, we have goals for, goals against, goal diff and points. and yeah, we'll see how i... fare. *edit* ok never mind i scrapped the table cause blogger doesnt allow more than two spaces. what's wrong with your programming man? you guys are an international company! i'm leaving!! off to livejournal!!! *end of edit*
GP today.
i guess GP wasn't thaaaaat bad. i mean, i'm not bad at it. but some negatives that i can take away from GP.
except for the fact that i chose the wrong question. i don't know what went through my mind, but some little voice in my head told me to spot questions, and i spotted, of all questions, science and technology. all that just cause i just read Brave New World from Aldous Huxley and decided i could place some of his ideas into my compo. and so i chose the question "Are we placing too much faith on technology?"
1) Never; and i mean never ever, choose a short question like that. (1 nil to GP)
2) And i didn't get to use any of the Brave New World points (2 nil to GP)
3) I realised that the emphasis was on "too much faith". Except i realised it a little too late. (3 nil to GP)
4) I had no flipside so i crapped out something that will probably scream out SMOKE!!! (4 nil to GP)
5) Basically, out of the 5 points i wrote, 2 were utter crap, 1 was rather crap, and the last two barely made sense (5 nil to GP)
6) But i did manage a consolation goal cause i think the compre was rather easy. Or wait, was it? Actually i'm not that sure, cause everytime i say something is easy, i screw it up worse that Michael Jackson screwed his nose. So to be on the safe side... (6 nil to GP)
that's not that bad. 6-0 on the opening day. It's like how Newcastle lost to Manchester United (HAHA THE YELLOW DECK CHAIR JERSEY)
hey... somehow during blocks, i get some real brain juice burst and can write so well. sadly, it's on the blog and not on my bloody examination script.
ok whatever i am so off to studying my econs and history. woohoo two content heavy subjects in two days. just my cup of tea. totally what i'm paying 300 bucks a month and more than 600 bucks for A levels to do. i am so enjoying my life studying. actually, there is no life, cause i'm studying my life away lalalalalalalalaaaaaaaa.
ok enough crap happy studying people. i'm off to cramming as much history essays and econs facts into my brain as i can humanly manage. wish me luck. i know it won't help me, but still, wish me luck
